April 19, 201214 yr Don't know if anyone has ever done this before, but here's a video I found of Chris's vocal range. This person basically put his low and high notes in order. I thought it was interesting. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9m_-Tgw67VY]Chris Martin's Vocal Range - F2-A4(-G5) - YouTube[/ame] I'm particularly fond of his low register... :wacky:
April 19, 201214 yr Nice video. Should have put the line from Proof where he goes really high though!
April 19, 201214 yr Love it! What is the name of the song at 5:30? Thanks! Rainy Day [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCFOw1ukQF0]Coldplay - Rainy Day - YouTube[/ame]
April 19, 201214 yr I can't see the video (at work) but I've always thought Chris has a very versatile voice--he can sing anything, in my opinion.
April 19, 201214 yr Really interesting video! Except for the fact the Rainy Day sample is not Chris' vocals :D
April 19, 201214 yr Really interesting video! Except for the fact the Rainy Day sample is not Chris' vocals :D I was just about to post this, well done. You get a cyber cookie! :thumbsup:
April 19, 201214 yr Awesome job! :stunned: :nice: ...I just love his voice in its entirety :heart: Nice video! His voice sounds so good in every key. :kiss:
April 19, 201214 yr Hi guys, I'm the maker of this video :P thanks for all the nice comments! Really interesting video! Except for the fact the Rainy Day sample is not Chris' vocals :D Actually I concluded that, after listening to it several times, it is Chris's vocals blended with Emily Bart-Smith's. But I could be wrong, please, feel free to correct me if I am, haha. I'd also like to add - I did leave out a few notable songs because I suck. There is another E5 in Lovers In Japan (Osaka Sun Mix) in the "whoooooo"s after the first chorus, and there are some really low notes in Christmas Lights. I forgot to put LIJ in, and I didn't include CL because I had a lot of trouble figure out just what note it was. I read that it was an E2 on another site, and if that's true, that's his lowest note to date -- but as I'm a girl (and a mezzo soprano) I can't go anywhere near that low. ed - the high note in Proof is a B4 I believe, so it was high enough to make it into the video but I already had three examples of a B4 that he's sung and I tried not to exceed three because I thought people might get bored, lol.
April 19, 201214 yr Author ^Oh hi! :) Don't worry about things you forgot, the video is great! It seems like Chris has a pretty big range, but I don't know much about singing theory. Is three octaves a lot for a singer?

Is three octaves a lot for a singer? Hi! And thank you, I really appreciate that. Yes, I would say that he does have a big range. While there are some crazy 5-octave-range singers out there, 3 octaves is very impressive -- but it's really not the range that matters as much as the singing itself. Also, technically he's got a two octave, two note range because unfortunately, most people don't count falsetto as being actually part of a singer's range -- that's why the (-G5) is in parentheses. I still think it's great. He's got three usable octaves that he can sing in, doesn't matter whether it's falsetto or not. Good falsetto is more important than crappy full voice, and he's good with both!
April 19, 201214 yr Very interesting, I've been trying to figure out Chris' range for a while now :P Thank you very much for posting this (and thank you, Majorsminus, for creating it!)

April 20, 201214 yr Very interesting stuff. Also thanks for the explanations, I think I've learned something today :D
